There will be one final total solar eclipse of the year on December 4, 2024. Unlike the previous Annular Solar Eclipse, which occurred on June 10 of this year, this celestial event will be a total solar eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when a celestial body passes between the sun and Earth, completely blocking out the sun’s light.
The polar eclipse will be visible in Africa, Australia, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean. This eclipse will not be visible in India. The sun Grahan will begin at 10:59 a.m. local time on Saturday, according to Indian Standard Time (IST) (IST). The total eclipse will begin at 12:30 p.m. and last until 1:03 p.m.
when will the maximum eclipse occur?
On Sunday, August 21, a total solar eclipse will occur at 1:33 p.m., followed by a partial solar eclipse at 3:07. It will take 4 hours and 8 minutes in total.

The view from Union Glacier in Antarctica, where the totality of the eclipse will be visible, will be shown live on NASA’s live broadcast of the December 4 Solar Eclipse. The event will be streamed live on NASA’s YouTube channel.
Is there going to be a total eclipse of the sun’s surface?
When the Moon passes directly in front of our Sun, it blocks all light from reaching our planet. A shadow is composed of two parts: an umbra, which blocks all sunlight, and a penumbra, which blocks only a portion of the light and is referred to as the penumbra. The Moon covers the entire solar disc during a total eclipse, whereas only a portion of the Sun is covered by the Moon during a partial or annular eclipse.
NASA claims to have proof of this. “This happens when the Moon passes in front of our planet, blocking some of the Sun’s light and casting a shadow. The Sun, Moon, and Earth must all be in a straight line for a total solar eclipse to occur.”
There are dos and don’ts for the 2024 solar eclipse.
There are a few rules to follow during a solar eclipse in Hinduism
Many people advise against using sharp objects or eating during the eclipse. As a general rule, it’s best to eat at least two hours before an eclipse. Pregnant women are advised to stay indoors during the eclipse. It is recommended that they remain indoors during the Sutak period. As a result, pregnant women and their unborn children are protected from the sun’s harmful rays.
When the moon is blocking the sun during an eclipse, avoid looking at it directly. The sun’s rays are stronger at this time of day, and they can cause retinal burns and other eye damage. It’s not a good time to take a bath during the eclipse. After the eclipse, take a bath.
